A Brief History of Selby-on-the-Bay, Maryland

Through the long history of Selby on the Bay, we have learned that our region has been given many names and titles. In the early 1900’s several families owned large contiguous parcels of Selby on the Bay and it appears to have been just a marking of those property divisions. By "word of mouth" and in historical documentation found relating to our area of this century, the following four communities are described as making-up Selby on the Bay, though Selby on the Bay has always been the "Mother" community in the dealings outside of our area, for the neighborhood:

1. Cedar Grove- proposed to have been named by Captain Fred Stone Crismond. The area was basically a cedar tree grove near the beachfront, apparently one of the Peninsula’s premier picnic areas. There is no formal listing of what the area consisted of, but it is supposed to be the bungalows on Cedar Grove Road and the Holiday Point Marina property. A few old cedars at the beach remain in memory of old Cedar Grove.

2.North Selby - is the property surrounded by Edgemont Road east to Selby Bay, from Hillside northwest to the edge of Loch Haven. A road eventually will connect our communities between Selby on the Bay and Loch Haven. This will give us a long needed alternate route to the growing lower-peninsula, in case of an emergency on Mayo Road below Loch Haven Road.

3. Selby on the Bay - Proper- the original AA Circuit Court Injunctioned Area of 1938, it was the beginning of our neighborhoods major development, starting around 1930. Sometimes referred to as Selby or Selby Proper in some of the old documents, I believe they were just tired of writing it out.
Otis Williams and Alvin Branham were the original developers selling property as the Selby on the Bay Properties Company in 1930. Selling building lots for $500 each and offering 15% discounts to buyers paying off early.
The community of "Selby Proper" is bordered on the west by Mayo Road, Hillside Avenue on the North, Winding Road from the South to Selby Bay on the east. Cedar Grove was believed to be a small rental cottage spin-off of this original community.

4. Selby Heights- runs from the west at 5th Avenue to the east by Edgemont Road, south by Hillside Avenue to the property that backs up to the American Legion Hall on Mayo Road.
Selby Heights was likely the estate of the Birch Manor House, where the Peach Orchard was supposed to be.
